Elle tells it like it is

Is that REALLY me?

I got married 3 weeks ago today.  Yay!  I hired someone to come in and make my hair big and curly.  She also expertly attached fake eyelashes on me, evened out my ruddy, freckled face and made my eyes amazingly pop.  We had professional photos taken.  They look nice.  As soon as I got back I changed my Facebook profile photo to it.

And I kept it there for over 2 weeks.  People told me how pretty it was and I was totally flattered.

However, I can’t shake the feeling when I look at the picture that it isn’t me?  Am I having a crisis about my image?  Am I in shock that I’m ACTUALLY married?  Do I just not want to be one of those girls that makes her wedding the sum of her whole identity as a woman?

I have no idea.  I feel like there’s a psychological reason for why I don’t want that photo as my profile photo anymore.  I like it.  I don’t mind looking at it.  What’s my issue?
